Yongzhou.
The gate of Yongzhou City has been surrounded by the South Vietnamese for several months, and finally the last defenders in the city were exhausted.
When the city was broken, all the blood and hatred rushed forward, and the South Vietnamese began to take crazy revenge. There were still 58,000 residents in the city, and no one was spared. They were all massacred!
Fifty-eight thousand, this blood debt finally aroused the determination of the Song Dynasty to destroy the enemy, and actually sent a large force to Guangnan West Road. They would never withdraw their troops until they killed the South Vietnamese!
After the gate to the south was opened by the South Vietnamese, thousands of miles of fertile wilderness would open up. As long as the South Vietnamese ran fast, there would be no stopping troops in front of them. Countless cities would fall. Many surrounding Zhou counties heard the news of the fall of Yongzhou. After that, the heads of prefectures and counties fled one after another. They had no business caring about the people. They had to save their own lives first. The officers all ran away, the soldiers had no command, their combat effectiveness plummeted, and they were completely defeated in front of the South Vietnamese soldiers!
The Song Dynasty also knew that they had underestimated this opponent, and the consequences of their carelessness were really serious. If the main force was not sent out immediately, there would be big trouble in the south!
After receiving reliable information, South Vietnam also stopped their arrogance. Although they captured Yongzhou, they paid a huge price and saw their own embarrassment. The huge consumption over the months made this purely agricultural country worse. Unable to support such a huge military expenditure, in recent months, it has begun to gradually withdraw troops to the rear.
They could see from the foot of Yongzhou City that they would not be able to defeat Yongzhou City once it was so weak. It would also be a huge loss of vitality. There were only 2,800 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city!
There is no imperial army in the south. Just because the troops sent to the south die not from wars but from climate and other factors, which is harmful to the reputation of the officials. The officials of the current dynasty simply did not send troops and let Yongzhou Waiting for the southern city to recruit its own troops, the 2,800 people in Yongzhou City are still a group of country warriors who have not received formal military training, and are not even soldiers!
Who would have expected that there would really be a war in the south. Even if there was a war, who would dare to attack such a big city, and who would be able to break through the city walls?
The South Vietnamese actually came. .
The city was empty and exhausted from months of siege. They couldn't conquer such a city. How could they face the Song Dynasty's imperial army! The South Vietnamese who broke bamboo all the way directly hit Yongzhou City, and then piled countless South Vietnamese corpses under the city. Their opponents were only 2,500 rural warriors, commonly known as temporary workers.
The Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty is the army that everyone despises the most. In the eyes of the world, this army is corrupt and incompetent. It specializes in producing scum like Lu Yuhou and harms its colleagues, imbecile and shameless! Moreover, their superiors are often treacherous and incompetent people, such as Gao Qiu Tongguan and others!
Actually they are wrong! What kind of enemy did the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty face? It was the ever-upgrading super cavalry! Ever since the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty disappeared from the world, the cavalry in the hands of the people faced by the Song Dynasty were the strongest in the world! Whether it is the Khitan or Xixia, or the Jin people, and finally the Mongols, they are the strongest in the history of cold weapons. What did the people of the Song Dynasty rely on? They relied on two legs. They relied on cavalry to follow them. This group of people worked until the end, and they were the last to fall. Are these Forbidden Army weak? If they are weak, then there will be trouble!
The horsemen could not get any advantage against the imperial army, not to mention that the equipment and weapons in the south were completely inferior to those of the South Vietnamese of the Song Dynasty. The South Vietnamese had never encountered any troublesome opponents and could not figure out the strength of their opponents. Yongzhou City was like A testing stone immediately revealed all the details!
No matter how arrogant the South Vietnamese are, they still have brains. They can't even defeat Yongzhou. How can they fight against the elite imperial army?
Withdraw, this battle directly dispelled the thousand-year dream of the South Vietnamese to go north.
Once the South Vietnamese left, they left behind devastation all over the land.
Guangyuan alone had thousands of refugees pouring in. Not to mention other places, Yongzhou City accommodated almost half of the population in Guangnan. According to records, the entire Guangnan had nearly 200,000 households during the Song Dynasty. This What is the concept? It is equivalent to a Yongzhou city with nearly 300,000 people. This data is not very accurate because many people cannot be counted for various reasons! Escapement is common!
'Can't even the defenders of Yongzhou defeat the South Vietnamese? '
Nong Zhigao led Nong Ren all the way, and the more he looked at it, the more chilled he became.
They know the destructive power of the South Vietnamese better than anyone else, but they still have a little illusion in their hearts. If they were insulted in Guangyuan, the imperial court would help them get it back, because they all think that they are Song people!
The Song Dynasty is their motherland! It is their backing and supporter!
However, even Yongzhou City was attacked!
This administrative center on Guangnan West Road has the tallest and strongest city wall, the largest number of guards, and it is the spiritual fortress in everyone's heart. If this city can be breached, doesn't that mean that other places are also useless?
Everyone's heart sank. There were corpses all over the ground, and many of them had begun to rot. Animals such as wild dogs and jackals were shuttled between the corpses, eating them up. Seeing such a scene, the hunting team members People would not hesitate to draw an arrow and send these beasts to the west.
There was a fire in the city, which turned the city's precious wealth into ashes. In such a huge city, there were no more living people. People looked around, but they didn't expect that the battle in Yongzhou would be so tragic. , everyone is dead, so what’s the point of them coming?
'There are not many people in Yongzhou City. Besides, the South Vietnamese came too suddenly and the city defense was hasty. It is normal that they cannot be defeated! '
Nong Zhigao said it too easily, but Nong people were thinking in their hearts, is this a normal thing? They couldn't even defeat the Song people, so they still wanted to fight the South Vietnamese to avenge the dead old chieftain?
Alas, there is a deep sense of despair among all!
'Go find the state capital! '
Nong and others searched separately, and Nong Zhigao waited for a long time. Finally, the news came. They met in front of a pile of rubble, and everyone had silence on their faces.
The state capitals were razed to the ground.
'Are you sure this is the state capital? 'Nong Zhigao's tone was full of doubts.
'Let's explore again and find some living people to ask! '
Nong Zhigao was a little angry, people like Song Ting were too incompetent!
Compared with Guangyuan, a Yongzhou city has huge resources that they cannot match. The population is dozens of times theirs. There is countless money and food in the city. Although there are fewer guards, the Nong people are not the same. The regular army fought back and forth with the South Vietnamese, but Song Ting was defeated so completely that even the state capital was burned to ashes!
Even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it would not be so easy for the South Vietnamese to kill them!
If these resources were left to his control, he would probably have killed the South Vietnamese people to cry for their fathers!
Nong Zhigao was extremely unconvinced at the thought of accepting the canonization from such a court!
The Nong people found a few living people in the city. They were all common people who took advantage of the chaos and ran outside the city. Now that the South Vietnamese retreated, they immediately returned to the city, but this city is no longer the same city it used to be!
The common people thought they were South Vietnamese soldiers. They were so frightened that their legs swayed and they lowered their heads and hugged each other.
'Where's the state official? ' Nong Zhigao asked calmly.
The people were trembling, not daring to look directly, let alone answer.
Nong Zhigao said angrily: "If you don't say anything, I will send you to see your parents and brothers immediately!" '
After saying that, Nong Zhigao drew out his sword.
Nong people generally don't carry a sword with them, because the sword is just for decoration and is useless on the battlefield. It will break immediately if it hits the sword! But he just likes to carry such a gadget with him, and he feels pretty good!
The common people were immediately frightened when they saw the gleaming sword. One common man stood up and said, "Don't kill us. We are innocent people. Aren't you South Vietnamese?" '
The South Vietnamese killed Zhizhou, so they wouldn't ask such stupid questions!
'We are from Guangyuan, and I am Nong Zhigao, the chieftain of the Nong family! '
As soon as Nong Zhigao reported his home, the people were no longer afraid and immediately replied: "It turns out that reinforcements are coming!" We are saved! '
Nong Zhigao sneered in his heart, who is your rescuer?
The common people knelt down in front of Nong Zhigao, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Master, please save us. The South Vietnamese have done countless evil things, but we are lucky enough to survive. If you want to ask anything, Master, just ask!" '
Several ordinary people cried until their eyes were red and swollen. All their family members died in this war. They hated the South Vietnamese very much. Now they are looking forward to someone to avenge them!
'Where is Zhizhou? Tell me quickly! ' Nong Zhigao felt a little irritable after hearing their crying, so he asked anxiously.
'Let me tell you, another commoner said, after Yongzhou was besieged, the governor of the state, Su Minsu, visited the soldiers day and night to comfort the soldiers, and shot the enemies with the imperial bow, killing many people. '
Master Su first asked Liu Yi, the governor of Guizhou, for help. Liu Yi sent general Zhang Shoujie to rescue them, but Zhang Shoujie hesitated and refused to advance. Mr. Su also sent a wax letter to Song Qiu, a prisoner of Tidian Prison. Song Qiu was shocked and cried when he received the letter, urging Zhang Shouchie. Zhang Shoujie panicked and quickly moved his troops to garrison Dajialing and return to defend Kunlun Pass. Suddenly he encountered the enemy and had no time to set up his formation. The entire army was wiped out. The South Vietnamese captured the soldiers at Kunlun Pass and knew that they were good at attacking cities. They lured them with benefits and asked them to build ladders and attack holes. '
Su Yan was a civil servant, and he was actually brave and resourceful in dealing with the South Vietnamese. In my impression, Han officials were greedy for money and fearful of death. The enemy troops would often attack and flee, leaving the people behind. This official named Su did not run away but instead held on to the city. , which is really admired by everyone.
'The South Vietnamese had nothing to do and were about to retreat, but they learned that external reinforcements had not arrived. Someone taught them to put soil in bags and lean it against the city wall. After a while, it was several feet high. The enemy climbed up like ants, and the city was destroyed. capture. Mr. Su still led the injured soldiers to ride horses and fight more fiercely, but he was unable to defeat them, so he said: "I don't want to die in the hands of the enemy for the sake of justice." He returned to the state headquarters and killed thirty-six people in his family. He hid in a pit and set himself on fire. '
'The South Vietnamese came and looked for their bodies but could not find them. They massacred tens of thousands of people in the county, about a hundred people in piles, a total of more than 580 piles. They tore down the city walls of three states and filled them into the river. . Yongzhou was besieged for forty-two days, and the food and springs dried up. People drank retting water to quench their thirst. Most of them got dysentery and died relying on each other. The city of Yongzhou finally could not hold on and was destroyed by the enemy! Everything in the city was looted by the South Vietnamese, and countless people were killed and injured. Only a few of us escaped from the city! '
